After learning that the curse was whispered by Yogg-Saron, Lothar was in despair and did not even have the heart to study who had imposed such a vicious curse on the Bass family.
But just when Lothar was already considering arranging his funeral arrangements, Link suddenly gave Lothar a hope. Even though the hope was so elusive and unrealistic, Lothar decided to give it a try. Even if it didn't work, he wouldn't be worse off than he is now.
Oops, if it succeeds, then not only him, but the entire Bass family will be able to escape from that terrible curse.
Therefore, Lothar immediately returned to the Cathedral of the Holy Light accompanied by Brand.
This time, although Lothar was still a little doubtful, he did not resist believing in God the Father. He even subconsciously had a strong desire to hope that God could provide help.
However, after praying for a while, Lothar found that Father God still had not responded to him. He couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed and a little angry. But just when he wanted to vent, he found Brand praying beside him, that peaceful and pious man.
The look on his face touched his heart, and he suddenly remembered Link's words - he must confess his sins to God the Father before he can be saved.
"Am I guilty? Am I guilty? Ha, it's so funny. If I were not guilty, how could I have sat peacefully in the position of lord for so long? I'm afraid I would have been robbed of my territory and title..." After laughing at himself for a while,
Lothar silently confessed his sins.
During the confession process, Lothar gradually opened up his heart and had the idea of sincerely praying to the gods for forgiveness. Although this was more of hoping that the gods could save him, he did start to become pious. For the first time in decades, he had
desire to believe in gods.
As the confession continued, Lothar gradually began to feel guilty. Under the influence of guilt, he hoped to be forgiven and redeemed more, and he also had awe of the gods. At this point, the conditions for belief had been gathered.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Link saw Lothar's situation change, and the words Junior Believer appeared above his head, triggering the effect of the Cathedral of Holy Light.
In just a few seconds, the curse, pain and other problems on Lothar's body disappeared. After feeling the drastic changes in his body, he couldn't help but look shocked. He quickly checked his physical condition and found that he was healthier than ever before.
, as if suddenly ten years younger.
Lothar couldn't help but raised his head in surprise, and found Link looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he had expected it. At this moment, Lothar seemed to understand something, and the shock on his face turned into gratitude, and then he clasped his hands together with a pious look.
And bowed his head and continued to pray.
Seeing this scene, Link knew that he had succeeded. Lothar had become his loyal believer. What surprised him was that after confirming that gods really existed, Lothar's belief level began to soar. In a short period of time, Lothar's faith level began to soar.
He became a high-level believer.
You must know that except for those who saw the miracle coming, even if others become believers, they can only reach the level of intermediate believers at most. It is almost impossible to find high-level believers in one go, let alone such people who never believe in God.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that it is precisely because Lothar, who has never believed in God and has a stubborn mind, that he sincerely believes in a god, will adopt a more pious attitude to believe than ordinary believers, not to mention what he believes in
The gods really solved the curse that could not be exorcised.
After the prayer, when Link called Bass and his son into the back room again, Lothar was completely different from before. Although the previous Lothar was approachable, his eyes always revealed majesty and sharpness, as if he had a sword in her sheath.
The sword contains murderous intent.
However, this time Lothar's aura was peaceful and his brows were serene, like a kind elder. If it weren't for the fact that his appearance had not changed, there would be no way he could be regarded as the same person as before.
Even Brand, as his son, was a little confused by Lothar's huge changes. He wondered if his father had damaged his head due to the curse. He had never seen Lothar like this.
However, Link is not surprised. This is the power of faith. In the past month, he has seen countless people who have undergone tremendous changes due to faith. After having faith, a person can often be sublimated from the inside out, whether at home or abroad.
There are countless people in foreign countries, or in the world of Sorak and Earth, who have changed drastically overnight because of their firm beliefs.
However, Link still underestimated Lothar's consciousness. After some words of emotion and praise to Father God, Lothar actually expressed his hope to stay in God Father's religion and become a monk. In other words, this old boy wanted to become a monk.
This is no small matter. The Kingdom of Stars is a young country with not many nobles in the country. The abdication of a lord like Count Lothar is bound to alarm many forces.
Once Lothar becomes a monk in the God Father Sect, the God Father Sect will definitely be noticed by many powerful forces. The God Father Sect, which has just begun to develop, will most likely be jointly suppressed by other churches in the Red Moon Province.
Although Lothar can ensure that the Father God Cult will not be destroyed here, it will definitely be difficult to move forward when it develops outwards. This is not what Link wants to see.
In this world with many religions and dangers, Link would never be so naive as to think that with the support of one lord, he would be able to develop smoothly. The fact that many religions were cared for by high officials but still perished warned Link with blood.
Whatever is good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The current Father God Sect cannot eat a big fish like Lothar.
In fact, Lothar also understands these truths, but he believes that the True God exists in the Cult of the Father. Under the protection of the true God, it is impossible for other forces to do anything to the Cult of the Father. His joining will only increase the reputation of the Cult of the Father.
It has greatly increased, and with the help of his energy, the Father God Cult has developed rapidly. In other words, in his opinion, his joining has far more benefits than disadvantages for the Father God Cult.
Lothar's idea is very good. If there is really a blessing from the gods, the Father's Cult can really soar into the sky in a short time. But the problem is that the so-called gods do not exist. So Lothar's joining now will do more harm than good to the Father's Cult.
Already.
However, this cannot be said clearly, otherwise the belief that was finally established will collapse. So after thinking about it for a while, Link decisively stated that he could not accept Lothar becoming a monk. The reason was that Father God said that Lothar had done a good job as a lord.
You can't leave your post casually, otherwise it will cause chaos in the Red Moon Province, and Brand is also very 'cooperative' in saying that he still has a lot to learn and is not yet able to take on important responsibilities.
Then Link said that the development of the Father God Cult was a test given to them by the Father God. If secular power was used to allow the Father God Cult to expand rapidly, it would not be in line with the original intention of the test. Therefore, Lothar must not be allowed to become a monk now.
.
After some reasoning and emotion, Lothar finally reluctantly retracted his decision, but Link did not say anything. He said that if Lothar's determination did not change in a few years, he would never refuse Lothar again.
Lothar was very happy after hearing Sal's request to join the religion. Now that he has recovered, he can afford to wait for a few years.
However, although he failed to join the religion immediately, Lothar's idea of contributing to the Father God Church did not disappear. He decisively donated 100,000 Sola and said that if Link needed help, he could just ask him.
I will definitely do my best within my ability.
Naturally, Link would not refuse such a free benefit and immediately nodded in agreement. Everyone would get something and everyone would be happy.
However, what surprised Link the most was that after solving Lothar's problem, the system actually popped up another achievement reward message.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the achievement: Unswerving - The host refused the temptation to rely on worldly power to soar into the sky, and has an unswerving heart to become a god. He received the magical skill reward and started matching... The match was successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the primary magical skill, Flame.
Soul. Ding, the host is currently in the outside world, please collect the reward in an uninhabited place at midnight]
"Fire Soul? What is this? The name shouldn't be an ancient Chinese martial art. Could it be something from Western fantasy? Forget it, we'll find out later tonight."
When the clock rang at midnight, Link decisively accepted the reward and discovered that the Fire Soul was a thumb-sized red crystal, and its effect was to allow the holder to learn some low-level fire magic, which was quite
Based on an elementary fire magic book.
However, unlike the magic book, the Flame Soul allows the holder to learn magic more easily, and the proficiency is much higher than teaching it through other methods. For magicians, this is definitely an entry-level artifact.
There are three primary fire magics in Soul of Fire, namely fireball, fire armor and fire rush. Fireball and fire rush are attack spells. Fireball is a conventional magic that requires chanting incantations, while fire rush
The spell is instant, but it is much less powerful than the fireball spell, consumes more mana, and has a ten-second cooling time each time it is used.
Fire armor is a passive defensive magic. After using it, the caster will get a buff state. If someone makes a melee attack on the caster, he will be counterattacked by the flames. In addition, after turning on fire armor, magic power will continue to be consumed until it is actively turned off or
Until the magic power is exhausted.
With the help of the system, Link only took one minute to learn the three magics in Soul of Fire, which immediately made up for Link's disadvantage of having magic power but no combat magic.
Although he has not yet engaged in actual combat, according to Link's estimation, his current comprehensive strength is at least at the peak level of the second level. Even if he encounters a third level strong person, he can fight. In a small place like Qinke Town, he can even
He rushed out and shouted, "I am invincible."
As for the Fire Soul, Link decided to give it to Aria first. Like him, the latter had been accumulating magic power through meditation since she was a child. However, because she did not have a good teacher, she only mastered two garbage magics: lighting and primary healing.
Now that she has the Fire Soul, Aria no longer has to worry about her own lack of strength.
What? You said that all types of magic have similarities. If Alia’s fire element affinity is not enough, she will not be able to learn it well?
Sorry, this kind of question is not a problem at all. The greatest function of the Fire Soul is that it allows the holder to ignore the element affinity, learn it by holding it, and learn it well. It is not called "Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product" for nothing.
.
Early the next morning, Link handed the Fire Soul to Arya. The latter was shocked when she learned the effect of the Fire Soul. She had never heard of such an artifact.
However, when Link said that this was something given by God the Father, Aria was relieved. How can something given by God be viewed with mortal eyes?
Aria happily accepted the Fire Soul immediately and promised Link that she would learn magic well and would not let Link down.
